does padding make it hot ?

No, it is a nylon weave so air circulates. One thing I don't like about this chair is that it reclines back to get the leg rest up; therefore, it is hard for me to hold a book and read reclining. In other words, the leg rest will not come up while the back is in a sitting position. I do like that the head rest is adjustable. hope this helps.

Since it is not mesh but tight fabric; I surmise that it would retain some body heat. I do not spend a lot of time in this chair, maybe 20 minutes at a time so a better answer may come from those that st longer. I find it comfrtable and mobile. My size and weight does not stress the chair asothers have commened on. I am under 6 feet tall and 180 lbs.

The padding does not seem to make these chairs any hotter than a regular model. The chair is still made with a breathable material

no-it is very comfortable, although I have not used it in direct sunlight. I do use it in 90 degree weather in the shade and it is very comfortable.

No, but if you get the black one, the sun really makes it hot. I love my chair but the only problem I have with the padding is that, when it rains, it retains all the rain, if you feel of the chair it feels dry, but once you sit down, its like sitting in a puddle. So, I have to move it back & forth, out of the weather if its raining, but its so comfortable, you feel weightless. Hope this helps!

Hard to say if that is a result of the cover, or my hormonal change. Also, we have a Temperpedic matress that heats and molds with your body temperture. My husband hasn't said anything about unusual heat.

The Internal padding is pretty safe its nice and soft. I haven't had any problems yet.

Yes, the plush looks hot but it doesn't seem too hot. My baby is very sensitive to heat and sweats easily, and when I use this product, I don't see him uncomfortable hot. I haven't tried the moisture wicking side.

I'm afraid my experience is different from the other reviewers. I found the pads to be stiff and definitely make me hot so I put a folded soft sheet over it and that makes it bearable. Because of a nerve problem I have the quilted shapes hurt me so I can't lay directly on them. However, having said that I will say they do the job I bought them for. Very good at protecting the mattress.

I like it. It does get hot, however, not too hot to be uncomfortable. The benefitsare wonderful.

Yea the pad is hot to touch when plugged in. Works great for heating thick oil in cold climates.

I thought it was hot. I tend to run warm anyway, with night sweats (TMI?) and it seemed the extra padding got extra hot and retained the heat. This is not a complaint about the product - it is well made, extremely plush and cushy. It's just a note that if you're hot and sweaty at night, this isn't one of those magic breathing, wicking matress covers that's going to alleviate any problems and could make it slightly worse. If I weren't a middle aged-woman, I'd give it 5 stars. :)

I have not noticed the bed feeling any hotter. I think you only get that effect with toppers that are much thicker than this one is.

Not that I can tell. I would imagine a cool pad would do enough but overall no. It is normal..

My son hasn't complained about being hot. I have noticed this pad isn't as thick as others, which makes it hold body heat less. What I love most about this pad is it's ability to stay put...the sides tuck in quite nicely, keeping it in place.

Katrina, the cushion does not feel hot when you're sitting for long periods, but once you get up you will find that you are wet with sweat! I hope this helps.

I have experienced it getting quite warm. Not so hot that it has burned me however.

It's very cozy now since the weather is quite chilly. I ordered it because it's supposed to be cooling and until the weather changes I won't be able to tell. However, manufacturer info included with the pad does not state it to be cooling.

Ni, definitely no. It does not have padding. Nor does it have any space to put padding.

Not that I have noticed, in fact my perception is that it seems especially cozy at the shoulder area (compared to my old BeautyRest pad) and about the same at the foot area. We only need it set at #2, anything more is too warm.

I don't have a temperpedic (but my mattress does have a layer of memory foam) but I don't believe this pad is a "thermal" as you described. This pad was designed to breath...not sure how they do that considering it is supposed to be water proof. I'm laying on it now reading and I can feel it warm up, so there is some transfer of body heat. However, it doesn't make me hot and uncomfortable and I run hot sleeping. The sides are a mesh fabric...probably where it gets its air from. It is relatively inexpensive so I would probably give it a try and return it if you are unhappy with the purchase. If you are using Prime the return is free if you drive it to the delivery service it was delivered to you from...UPS or USPS. I've done it several times and never had a problem. I haven't washed it yet so I don't know how it will hold up but it seems nicely made. Good luck to you.
